Chasing Aphrodite

By Jason Felch

*Chasing Aphrodite* uncovers the shocking reason America's leading art museums voluntarily returned over half a billion dollars in classical art to Italy and Greece. Authors Felch and Frammolino expose the Getty Museum's decades-long scandal of acquiring looted antiquities. Drawing on confidential records and frank interviews, this investigative account details the outlandish characters, unethical practices, and far-reaching consequences of the Getty's actions, revealing the "dirt beneath the polished façade" of the museum business and its chilling impact on the global art world.
